New Delhi,18 April 2017:

Chanda Bandh Satyagraha (www.nolistnodonation.com ) against Aam Aadmi Party has criticized the new appeal by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders to the public to donate. In appeals issued by Manish Sisodia via a video and AAP’s social media channels (#Donate2AAP), the party has asked for donations explaining that “AAP believes in transparent Funding, it runs on your money”.

Dr. Munish Raizada, convener of Chanda Bandh Satyagraha- has condemned Arvind Kejriwal for this duplicity. He has questioned the morality of him and his gang for this renewed appeal when the party has not been able to make public the list of previous donors. It may be known that AAP has withdrawn the list of donors from its website since June 2016.

Raizada has asked the public not to fall into this trap. He says that the public must ask for financial transparency from the public before it pledges further support to the party.

Chicago-based Neonatologist and a suspended ex-co convener of NRI cell of AAP, Raizada has been running Chanda Bandh Satyagraha against the opaque financial practices of AAP since 6 months.

Through the Chanda Bandh Satyagraha or the No List No Donation campaign, Dr Raizada wants the party leadership to come clean on the sources of its donations. “We want the party to mention details of all the donations received by it and put it in public domain on the website. Once that is done, donations can be searched by name (and not only via receipt number) on the party website. The missing Balance Sheets after 2014 should be made public, and CM Arvind Kejriwal should fulfil his poll promise to the people of Delhi by ordering an inquiry to probe the dubious donations of Rs 2 Crore that the party had received in 2014.”

Recently, on 31 March 2016, Chanda Bandh Satyagraha also initiated ‘Geeta Gyapan’ in which the team has been presenting a copy of Shreemad Bhagvat Gita to MLAs of Aam Aadmi Party so that the message of Gita reaches the ‘Chanda Chor’ Gang of the Party.

Launched on 24 December 2016, ‘Chanda Bandh Satyagraha’ exhorts the party’s leadership to restore all the ethics and principles on which AAP was founded upon.

‘Chanda Bandh Satyagraha’ asks the public to take a a pledge not to donate to AAP until it makes its donations public. So far, more than 80,000 people have signed the pledge under their signature drive.
